April's Story

This year, we helped “April,” a child sex trafficking survivor, regain custody of her one-year-old daughter. For April, leaving her daughter in an aunt's care was necessary until she got herself clean and found suitable housing for her and her daughter. Unfortunately, when April returned a few months later to take her daughter home, her aunt refused to give her daughter back. Although April contacted the police, they were unresponsive due to her criminal record. Thankfully, April was working with a partner service provider who was providing her emotional and case management support, and her case manager contacted us.

An Amara attorney met with April to assess her case. Because April’s aunt did not have legal custody of her daughter, we contacted the police who went to the aunt’s residence, retrieved the child, and that same night reunited April with her daughter. Our staff attended the reunification meeting, provided the client with a ride home, took April to purchase groceries, and coordinated donations of clothing, a stroller, and other items. We are happy to report April and her daughter are still together and moving forward with their lives.

Help us in our efforts to support women, like April!
